Openers have been such a headache in almost all of our overseas tests in recent times. Add the absolutely ineffective tail, it is a recipe for disaster. Not everytime we'd be saved by Kohli/Pujara special along with a supporting hand from Rahane.
Aussies are well ahead now. We could only hope Pant gets us as much close to the Aussies total.

Siraj proved his form in the past, performed well against England Lions when Indian team was touring England. Also, he took 8fer against Aus A in September, I really don't know why he has been neglected by the selectors so far.
Saini could also be a valuable addition.

How come he makes selection blunders during crucial times & gets away with it? There has to be a limit of the idiocy.
A spinner will definitely play a role as the match progresses. We need to score big when our batting arrives because we'd be facing Lyon in 4th innings

No, rotten apples are present in right wingers as well who give provocative statements & fan the fire. Imo those nutjobs have rightly been criticized in this forum.
Where's the ban on buffalo meat? Yes, in UP last year tensions were high during March-April & people associated with this industry suffered because of CM Yogi's crackdown on illegal/unlicensed slaughterhouses & meat shops, thanks to cow-vigilantes as well. But things are back to normal since then.
I dont give two hoots about the biggest exporters being from BJP or INC, I'm not a BJP supporter just a voter who picks the best among the worst.
The men who were accused in #metoo movement were associated with all walks of life, who were known to the general public. I don't know how you equated the above topic with something where our self obsessed messiahs in the Indian media change their narrative at the drop of a hat.
Our institutions have been filled with so called intellectuals inspired by Nehruvian era who love to name & shame others. Also Indians love to self loathe, so their business will never cease to operate in prime time & social circles. We need secularists like B C Roy or a commie like H S Surjit, but alas.

I could relate because I too followed these clowns when I joined twitter. Raghav Bahl, Pritish Nandy, Sardesai reaching at the top itself tells us the whole story.
When the Editors guild is being headed by Shekhar Gupta & it takes 5 years to expel a sexual assaulter like Tarun Tejpal, then God help us from those who everyday preach us lessons of liberalism, secularism & what not.
